NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today SiriusXM announced
the launch of Stanford Radio in collaboration with Stanford University. The joint venture begins with
the production of two all-new radio programs, granting subscribers access to the sharpest minds in the fields of technology and
education. The weekly shows will debut on SiriusXM Insight channel 121 starting February 11 at
11:00 am ET.
The Future of Everything will be hosted by Stanford Bioengineering Professor Russ
Altman, a recipient of the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and a National Science
Foundation CAREER Award. On his new program the experienced TEDxStanford talk alum will explore how technology, science, and
medicine shape our lives in myriad ways – from driverless cars, to cybersecurity, to genetics and health. Offering SiriusXM
subscribers a front row seat on innovations from the Stanford School of Engineering, Altman will make the extraordinary both
accessible and useful as he delves into "the future of everything."
Students, parents, and teachers all agree that plenty needs to change in the classroom, but what and how? School's In
promises to be a must-listen for families navigating an increasingly complex education system, and anyone interested in the state
of education in the country. Hosted by Dan Schwartz, Dean of the Graduate School of Education, and
Denise Pope, a Senior Lecturer with the Graduate School of Education, the show will explore
difficult family topics like how much homework is too much, what technology can and can't do to help kids learn, and countless
other topics affecting our youth and their parents.
"We look forward to bringing Stanford expertise and discoveries to the entire nation through this
exciting collaboration with SiriusXM," said Stanford President Marc
Tessier-Lavigne. "Satellite radio will deliver the insights from Stanford faculty directly to
people who can benefit, with compelling topics to help them better understand how universities contribute to their daily
lives."
"We're excited to partner with Stanford University and to afford our subscribers insights from the
school's storied campus," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM.
"SiriusXM has a proven track record of collaborating with the country's premiere institutions to create truly unique original
content that connects listeners with the preeminent experts in their respective fields. Technology and education are two subjects
that touch everyone's lives, and Stanford Radio will offer unparalleled and dynamic programming on these all-important
topics."
The two Stanford Radio programs will rotate Saturdays, with The Future of Everything premiering at 11:00 am – 12:00 pm ET on February 11, and
School's In taking over the time slot the following Saturday, February 18. Stanford Radio
will also replay at 12:00 pm ET every Sunday.
